I like the expression on the dog's face, but I don't like the angle that you took this at. When you are taking a photo of a dog, or a child, or anything else that is typically below your point of view, get down to their point of view, or lower, to take the shot. I would not call the second shot a portrait. Well, if you want to push it… It could be a portrait of the room… but really, it's a snapshot. Portraits are intended to draw out the personality of the person/subject in the photograph. This is why your first photo is more effective as a portrait and could be more effective if you moved your point of view down. Keep practicing, it will come.
